ABOUT MOLLY HATCHET

In the early 1970s, a new genre of music was emerging in Jacksonville, Florida. A mixture of blues, country, gospel, and the English invasion of rock and roll that later was to be coined the phrase “Southern Rock.” The music was filled with style and emotion and with bands in the forefront such as the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and a band from Jacksonville, Florida called Molly Hatchet. Named after a famous 17th-century axe murderess “hatchet molly” who would behead her lovers with the hand tool Lizzy Borden made famous.

Their self-titled debut album was released on Epic Records in 1978 and reached multi-platinum status as the band established their reputation of working hard, playing tough, and living fast through intense touring with such bands as Aerosmith, Bob Seger, The Rolling Stones, and many more. In 1979, Flirtin’ with Disaster was released, and history was in the making.

Molly Hatchet is now led by the expertise of Olly Hahn SPV/Steamhammer GmbH in Hannover, Germany. Olly Hahn has been the driving force in support of Molly Hatchet for 30 years and is well-known and respected in the European music industry.

As we enter the next 40 years of music, Molly Hatchet’s tradition and legacy keep developing the common bond of southern rockers. Keeping our southern style of music alive and well. Rest assured, Molly Hatchet is a band, that after 40 years, is always workin’ hard, playin’ tough, livin’ fast, and still Flirtin’ with Disaster!
